		The process of demining and destroying UXO in Guatemala is characterized by a collaborative effort between civilians and military personnel.
		Likewise, the demining and UXO destruction operations that Guatemala executes reflect the characteristics that were prevalent during the armed conflict, including the rare use of anti-personnel mines and UXO proliferation.
		The objective was including Guatemala in the program that the PADCA/OAS had been executing in Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica since 1992—the same year that the government of Guatemala solicited to be considered within the Program but had to be excluded at the time due to the conflict.

		But children, in Guatemala as in the rest of the world, disappear for any number of reasons--they run away, go to live with other relatives, are kidnapped in custody battles, fall prey to random violence.

	Congreso de la Republica de Guatemala: Noticias: Guatemala third country to ratify DR-CAFTA as others hold back
		Guatemala on March 10 became the third Central American country after Honduras and El Salvador to ratify a free trade agreement with the U.S., Dominican Republic and three other Central American countries that are moving more slowly in ratifying the deal.
		This move would not be in the best interests of these countries, since once the U.S. ratifies the agreement, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador will automatically reap the benefits of the free trade package, while the other countries that had failed to ratify the agreement will be left behind, one informed source said.
		Pressure on the Bush Administration and Congress to approve a free trade agreement negotiated with Central American countries and the Dominican Republic is likely to build following this week’s ratification of the DR-CAFTA by Guatemala’s Congress and passage of legislation ending an intellectual property fight with the United States.
